QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 09:53 AM) I think he should just wait until he has the actual teams and players. He just wants to be first, but not burn his source. For guys whose paychecks depend on information it is a tough balancing act when a guy like WSD can say something without consequences.

Yeah outside of Yolmer, I am not sure I see what the match up between the Sox and Brewers would be.

Jon Morosi‏Verified account @jonmorosi 33m33 minutes ago #Indians, #Orioles have discussed Manny Machado this offseason; no active talks at the moment, sources say, but Cleveland could be best fit of all for a Machado deal.

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 03:29 PM) https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/01/late...o-martinez.html If Martinez does indeed become eligible to sign before June 15th, he'll have the open of signing either in the current or the ensuing period. That will help open up his options a bit. And in the next signing period, we can only sign him for $300k.

QUOTE (wrathofhahn @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 02:09 PM) We should get in on the action though the OF situation is pretty crowded one of the top guys will probably bust just going off odds. We can only offer $300k.

Jerry Crasnick‏Verified account @jcrasnick 50m50 minutes ago Lorenzo Cain traveled to Los Angeles recently to meet with multiple clubs. Meetings were hosted by his agents at All Bases Covered. Uncertain which clubs were there, but #Brewers, #Cubs, #Rangers, #SFGiants and #Jays have been mentioned in speculation as potential Cain suitors.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 01:35 PM) What is going to happen with the Bulls? Do they go right away, or does the Swirsk finish out the season on WLS? They would only have until the drop dead date, which would be a mess.

It also misses the main issue here, that consent isn't perpetual.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 01:21 PM) Less than 2 months if you want to hear Spring Training games. Good point.

Oh crap, didn't realize they had less than 4 months to find a new station. Yikes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 12:07 PM) Nope. This band of ballers is destined for NBA hell. Unless they get a top pick, I agree with you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 11:48 AM) Guys, guys guys. Was driving to get a haircut and listened to Rush. Hmmm, he said the economy is thriving under Trump. Said stock market is doing amazing. Said everything Trump is doing is working. Says Democrats are causing a ruckus over the shutdown to deflect attention from Trump successful economy. Before you deem me some Rush fanatic, folks, I listened for a grand total of 3 minutes before commercials hit and that was it. Oh no baby, what is you doing?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 10:25 AM) Remind who votes the starters in the all star game? Is it coaches, media, execs? This was from the player vote.

So someone voted for Cam Payne as a starter for the all star game. Two people voted for Bobby Portis.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 09:03 AM) This is why education in America is falling apart. No respect, kids are addicted to mobile phones or iPads and can focus for 10-15 minutes tops and are also expected to double as counselors because parents no longer parent...but you have succeeded in illuminating why China is winning the real trade war. Parents and society respect teachers and education, period. All parents here are willing to spend $15-30,000 per year for high school and SAT training centers and an infinite amount on undergrad and grad school. Look at the majority of the winning schools for the Mathematics Modeling Contest. Of course, you’ve now made your flippant comment, but haven’t admitted you would go ape poop crazy if the Dems wrote a bill to benefit either poor minorities or new Muslim immigrants in America. What’s wrong? No GOP talking points issued by Drudge, Fox and Friends or The Heritage Foundation yet today? And most schools wouldn’t hire you because of your long track record of comments here, so you might have to join the Google discrimination lawsuit instead. Funny to see both of these in the same post.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 07:44 PM) Coop will fix em. No, wait!! Considering he went from a minor league deal to an almost $5 million deal because of Cooper, I'd say he owes Donnie a dinner or something.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 07:58 PM) Personally, I think Tilson is a DFA candidate for when the Sox need a roster spot. I bet you they could easily get him through waivers. With missing the entire season last year, they guy needs to be in the minors trying to get back into the rhythm of playing every day. But having said that, the Sox absolutely should allow him to complete in the spring. If he manages to out hit Engel and Garcia then he deserves first shot. DFA? Nah, they were ready to hand the guy the starting job a year ago. It will take some time, and there are more guys ahead of him to go first.

If they are losing money on the radio deal, that isn't a very good sign for the TV deal that comes up next year.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 03:42 PM) Most of the 2017 mid-season lists had him as a top 40 to 50 prospect. Hard to imagine them completely dropping him off after one bad half unless they want to acknowledge they completely whiffed with their original evaluations. Stats don't always tell the full story. If you are looking at a guy with a high ceiling, that doesn't go away just because they struggle for a season. We just saw that with Micker.

Vincent Goodwill‏Verified account @vgoodwill 11m11 minutes ago After a second round of tests, Kris Dunn has been diagnosed with a concussion, according to sources. As of now he won't be traveling with the team and will be evaluated at a later date

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 02:55 PM) That is exactly how you measure how fast a player can run... Not really, because it ignores everything but one piece of the puzzle, but whatever.
